What article was it earlier that stated that lds women didn’t need the priesthood because they were more spiritually ‘pure’ or something to that effect?

mormonism is sure confusing
one apostle/elder can’t figure out what the doctrine/teaching is from day to day.
what good is a ‘living’ prophet with all this chaos in teaching
I stand by my post - women are inherently more spiritual than men. Just look around your church - I’m certain more women are faithful attendees. Women are much more charitable, they commit less crimes, and are much more humble and long suffering. They are more altruistic and more loving, especially to children not their own.
Between the two sexes, I’ve no doubt we men are pricks and undeserving of our partners.
Unlike Traditional Christianity, we’ve never interpreted the priesthood restriction to men as due to women being inferior or unworthy. We never viewed women as property, first owned by their father then by their husbands (which continues to this day in Islam, Sikhism, and Hinduism).
Lastly, try not to fall in the trap of equating polygamy with some great evil. Marrying more than one wife is not the same as adultery. They are married. Just because modern western culture thinks polygamy is abhorrent doesn’t mean the Bible’s positive description and words of the practice are suddenly imaginary. Why is adultery, homosexuality, and serial polygamy (marriage, divorce, remarriage) ok in our society but how dare they get married to more than one partner at once!
God himself told David, “I gave you your wives” - if God gives a man numerous wives, does that make God an evil God?
The point is God is the boss and what he says goes. We simply have no right to dictate morality to him.
What I find most ridiculous of all is we Mormons are condemned for practicing polygamy in the 19th century but the Baptist, Methodist, Anglican, Pentecostal, and African Independent churches in Africa and Papua New Guinea have polygamous families in their congregations today, in the 21st century, and are never condemned.
Hmmm, perhaps because of the racial double standard - they get a free pass just because they’re black?
